Wedgemount precision levelers are freestanding, bolt-on/thru machine mounts that provide up to 3 deg of self-alignment to compensate for uneven flooring and adjust using a hex wrench. A series of interlocking disks, which come in six sizes, add vertical height. The disks have a split design, which can be inserted at any time, to permit final adjustment after the machine is assembled.

Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.

There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.

But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.
